I’m a mountain bike or a pretty hard core one and I have been one for about 35 years now

More and more these days I see bikes with motors in electrical assist

I frown upon them and will never own one myself and forbid my children to ever own one Until they’re adults and if they want to buy it with her own money

Why? Because it defeats the entire purpose and then all of a sudden you have a 60 pound bicycle instead of a 30 pound bicycle which you can’t do nearly as much with in terms of writing capability

Now I’m going to be fair and I’ve seen some older folks in their 70s they have electric assist bikes and they swear by them and said that they would be able to do it otherwise and I’m fine with that

But once you get an electric motor you’re gonna be getting all kinds of headaches that you’ll never have with the regular mountain bike

The same thing applies to motor bikes and dirt bikes
